AI Coding with AIDER Architect: Gemini 2.0 Flash vs Claude 3.5 Sonnet (o1, o3 PLAN)

From the creator

πŸ”₯ Is Gemini 2.0 Flash the NEW AI Coding King? Or will Claude 3.5 Sonnet REIGN SUPREME? πŸ‘‘ We put them HEAD-TO-HEAD in Aider Architect Mode! Let's see if Gemini 2.0 Flash is a GAME-CHANGER or just a FLASHY new model? (lol) πŸŽ₯ VIDEO REFERENCES: Principled AI Coding: https://agenticengineer.com/principled-ai-coding Aiders Polyglot leaderboard: https://aider.chat/docs/leaderboards/#aider-llm-leaderboards Anthropic building effective agents: https://www.anthropic.com/research/building-effective-agents Llama 4: https://ai.meta.com/blog/future-of-ai-built-with-llama/ Gemini 2.0 Flash: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/models/gemini#gemini-2.0-flash YT DLP: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp?tab=readme-ov-file#installation Useful LLM tools: https://davidgasquez.com/useful-llm-tools-2024/ πŸš€ In this video, we explores the time saving, feature shipping AI coding patterns by pitting Google's Gemini 2.0 Flash against the KING of LLMs Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet in a real-world test using Aider's Architect Mode. Honestly, it's a close race. Things are heating up. πŸ› οΈ Watch as we use a spec prompt (specification prompt aka plan prompt aka list of prompts) and Aider's architect mode to generate new features in a personal knowledge base. See how Gemini 2.0 Flash and Claude 3.5 Sonnet handle complex tasks like adding YouTube scripts, scraping websites, and retrieving data, all while focusing on the principles of AI coding. We'll break down the performance of each model, weighing the cost, speed, and accuracy to uncover the true power of these AI coding assistants. πŸ’‘ Learn how to use the large prompts to make large code changes with your AI Coding Assistant. We use the spec prompt to write three features in a single prompt with our AI Coding Assistant Aider. See first hand how prompt chaining unlocks new levels of agentic workflows. This is about using AI to build more software faster and at a higher quality with powerful AI models like gemini 2.0 flash, claude 3.5 sonnet, and the new o1 and o3 series. 🌟 If you are an engineer, a software developer, or AI enthusiast, this video is critical to staying ahead of the curve. Understand how to leverage the power of AI to build software faster and smarter with tools like Aider. πŸ€– Run Aider Architect with two Claude 3.5 Sonnet models aider --model claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022 --architect --editor-model claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022 --yes-always πŸ€– Run Aider Architect with two Gemini 2.0 Flash models aider --model gemini/gemini-2.0-flash-exp --architect --editor-model gemini/gemini-2.0-flash-exp --yes-always --load .aider πŸ“– Chapters 00:00 Reasoning Models Are Coming 02:16 Leverage Aider Architect with the Spec Prompt 07:49 Gemini 2.0 Flash vs Claude 3.5 Sonnet 21:35 Principled AI Coding 25:41 The most important GenAI question #aicoding #llm #aiengineer

AI Maker Residence at KOKO

The third AI workshop taught by our legendary teacher, Nick Sarafa. In one of the last events we did an asset manager raised an additional Β£25M on their fund within a space of 9 months. This is a full-day hands-on training workshop for purposeful co-creation with AI using Claude Code. Imagine having access to hundreds of billions of dollars of computing power and knowing exactly how to make it work for you through the power of super intelligence. One person did.
